Abstract
⺠The effect of estrogens and of ERα on the cardiovascular system is described. ⺠E2 and ERα exert their function acting via genomic and non-genomic mechanisms. ⺠In animals, ERα activation reduces infarct size, inflammation, and oxidative stress. ⺠It also induces vasodilatation and increases neovascularization. ⺠The cardioprotective role of ERα in humans is not fully elucidated.
